Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The snowflakes were flying all over the sky, like rubbing cotton and flakes, it was getting bigger and bigger.Under the dark moonlight, the snow is silvery white, the plum blossoms are bright red, and the cold plum fragrance lingers in the cold air, refreshing the heart and lungs.

Binglun came out of Huo Mu's study, the haze in his eyes became heavier.Two maidservants in green clothes held lanterns and illuminated the road ahead. Along the way, the only sound was the rustling of snowflakes and the crunching of boots on the snow.

The gate of the courtyard is open, and the dim candlelight can be vaguely seen. The little light, in this winter night, looks so lovely and warm, and a ray of light seems to be ignited in Binglun's heart, and the eyebrows and eyes are stretched out.

When she got to the porch, she shook the snow off her body, took off the cloak in the azure feather satin white fox, and Wang You hurriedly took it with both hands.

The charcoal fire in the room is burning vigorously, and the room is filled with warmth, and the elegant and sweet aroma mixed in the heating system is refreshing.

Lin Wanxi was sewing by the light, when she raised her eyes and saw her coming in, she couldn't help showing a gentle smile in her eyes: "You're here."

"What are you doing again?" Bing Lun sat down on the kang with a hint of reproach on his face, "There are a lot of needleworkers in the house, you are always busy, if you hurt your eyes, what can you do?"

"There is nothing left and right, if you don't find work to do, how can you pass the time?"

She poured hot tea herself, put it on the kang table, then turned her head and told Runlan softly: "Go down, there is no need to wait here."

Bing Lun casually picked up the work she had put down, but it turned out to be a pair of exquisite brocade socks, unfinished, and said, "Why do you still do this? You have done so much for me, and I can't finish wearing them next year."

"Then I will wear it in the next year." Lin Wanxi said: "If one day, you don't need needleworkers to wear all the things you wear, and only I do it by myself, that would be great."

Binglun's chest was inexplicably sore, she was suddenly speechless, and silently stretched out her hand to wrap her around her, Lin Wanxi snuggled into her arms obediently, and finally settled down in her heart, said quietly: "I miss you, I always want to see you all the time .”

Binglun said: "Me too." He lowered his head and kissed her eyes, then said: "I miss you too."

Feelings are such a wonderful thing. There are always endless words between them, even if they are just the most ordinary words, to the other party, they are more pleasing to the ear than music played by any musical instrument, and when they are so It is far happier and more satisfying to be silent than to get the whole world.

Neither of them moved, they were completely immersed in tenderness, wishing that time would stand still at this moment, and they would never have to be separated again.

After a long time, Lin Wanxi murmured: "A few days ago, I went to the kitchen quietly, but sister-in-law Yu wouldn't let me in, she said it was a place for servants to stay."

"What are you doing there?"

"I want to learn how to cook from them, and I want to learn some of your favorite dishes." Her voice was soft, but there seemed to be a layer of rippling mist in her eyes, revealing a hint of sadness: "I... .I still have a lot of things I want to do for you, I want to be with you and serve you for a long time."

Binglun's hand stroking her hair stopped abruptly, her throat was choked and tight, and after a while, she tried to breathe evenly, and said softly: "You don't have to do anything, I will take good care of you." She felt her body in his arms She trembled slightly in her heart, like Meirui in the cold wind outside the window, she was extraordinarily weak and helpless, her heart was filled with infinite love and pity, she bowed her head and couldn't stop kissing.

"You...are you going to enter the palace soon?"

A sentence that was so small that it could hardly be heard, carried with great care, pierced into Binglun's heart like a small, invisible needle.

"Who did you hear?"

"Everyone in the mansion is talking about it, and Runlan knows about it."

The room fell into silence again, a long and embarrassing silence, only the charcoal stove could be heard from time to time.

Lin Wanxi hugged her even tighter with both hands, her face pressed against her chest, tears rolling in her eyes, but she tried not to let it fall, just pretending that nothing had happened: "If you enter the palace, Qinzhu will follow you Forget it, Wangyou is getting old, the wife once said that she will be promised to be the servant next to the master."

For a long time, they have had a tacit understanding and never mentioned this topic, but now the matter is imminent, and it has reached the point where they can't deceive themselves. God knows how much she envies Qinzhu. If she insists on becoming the emperor's concubine , all she wanted was to be by her side, to be a little court lady, to be able to see her every day, and to be by her side. For the first time, she hated her identity so much.

Binglun's lips were tightly closed, and she didn't make a sound.

"The emperor has already promised me. Based on our family's family background, you will be named the imperial concubine as soon as you enter the palace. This is a great grace and honor. Although the queen is also from a high family and is the first wife of the emperor's mansion, but several In the past few years, the two sons of Lian Yao now have only one princess under their knees. If you enter the palace, if you can give birth to a prince, you will be able to replace him. Binglun, you are the smartest child, you know this is for you, for me, for you What does it mean to our entire Huo family... There are still a few months to go, and your identity will undergo a major change. Hanging out with that girl from the Lin family, you are not the same person, you will have completely different lives, and there is no benefit in contacting."

Huo Mu's words rang in her ears again, like a bucket of ice and snow poured on her head, the tenderness in her heart disappeared immediately, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze instantly.She has just tasted the joy of being in love with each other, but she has to suffer from the separation of labor and swallows, how can she bear it?What would Wan'er be without her by her side?She couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to imagine it.Binglun's face was as pale as a cold moon, and she whispered: "Wan'er, I won't enter the palace, I will accompany you."

Lin Wanxi said: "Binglun, I... I'm so scared." The tone was sad and helpless, which made people extremely unbearable.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

Binglun's heart ached like twists, tears slid down her cheeks and fell on her hair.As the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, she was destined to attract attention when she was born, and possess everything that ordinary people dare not expect, but at this age, she has to start to shoulder the burden of family glory and suffer from involuntary pain. Dare to disobey, father can't disobey, but at this moment, she can only comfort her clumsily: "Wan'er, I will not be separated from you, I will not leave you, we will be together forever..."

She said these words over and over again, but she knew how weak these words were. In the end, her voice gradually lowered, but a nameless anger arose in her heart, and she began to hate the person she had never met. The emperor, with so many beauties in his harem, why should he accept a concubine? There are so many women in the emperor, why should he choose her?She hated herself even more, hated her own weakness and powerlessness, why could others grasp her fate so easily? !

"Ice wheel."

With tears in her starry eyes, Lin Wanxi looked up and called her tenderly. She watched her, the flames in her eyes gradually extinguished, and only one thought remained in her mind. Such a beautiful and affectionate girl, her body and mind are all tied to her. Only by taking good care of her for the rest of her life can she be kept happy for the rest of her life?If so, even if she had to exchange her life, she would be willing to do so!

The autumn wind is bleak, and the weather is getting colder.

Binglun was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was blue and white, her whole body was shaking non-stop, her teeth were clenched, and the nurse went up to touch her forehead, but she felt it was burning hot, and when she probed her nose, her breath was also weak, and she couldn't help it. "Wow" burst into tears: "Miss, what's wrong with you? You're fine this morning, why did you come back like this? If you have something wrong, let me do it!"

Mrs. Wang was standing by the bed, yelling "Bing'er", she couldn't stop crying. When she heard this, she felt heart-piercing, and the upper room was in a mess. Said: "The imperial physician is here! The imperial physician is here!" Mrs. Wang seemed to have seen a great savior, she stopped her tears and went forward, and the maids hurriedly put down the silk curtains.

Knowing that the situation is critical, Li Daozhong hastily greeted Li, put down the medicine box, and sat down on the bed, Binglun's wet nurse had already taken out one of her hands.Li Daozhong turned his head sideways, and after half a day of consultation, he said: "It's strange, why is the pulse condition so disordered, I'm disrespectful to the officials, please take a look at the young lady's jade face."

Li Daozhong is an old doctor in the palace, he often walks around in the mansion, he is very familiar with him, and he is in a hurry to follow the authority, Mrs. Wang doesn't care about the many rules, she urgently ordered someone to open the curtain, Li Daozhong carefully looked at Binglun's face, He lifted her eyelids again and looked at her, frowning tightly.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "Old doctor, how are you doing?"

Li Daozhong looked solemn: "Ma'am, to be honest, Missy's illness is really weird, and I have never heard of it before."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart turned cold: "Old doctor, if you say that, then it is hopeless?"

Li Daozhong thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "I take the liberty to ask, has Missy received any stimulation recently?"

"No, the mansion has been very quiet recently. Nothing happened. Apart from refusing to go out, she didn't speak much, and there was nothing unusual about it. It's just that today she suddenly said that she was going to take a walk outside the city, and then the maids accompanied her to the Purple Luan. fragrant."

Li Daozhong asked: "Did anything happen on the way to Ziluan?"

"The maids and the servants all said that there was nothing special about the journey. They went to the nunnery, made a wish, ate a vegetarian meal, copied a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the meditation room, and then came back. Speaking of returning, the journey was fine. The gate went wrong not long ago." Mrs. Wang looked sad, and sobbed: "If it is a blow, it was half a year ago, my niece passed away unfortunately, and almost never killed her—their cousins ​​have been close since childhood. , inseparable, at that time, the old imperial physician and several imperial physicians walked around the mansion almost every day, and they also knew about it."

Li Daozhong nodded, pondered for a moment, drew up a prescription, and said: "There is no other way at the moment, first fry the medicine according to this, eat it and see how it goes."

Huo Song was also there at this time, thanked him, took the prescription from him, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to decoct the medicine one after another.When the medicine was ready, everyone helped her and squeezed her chin, trying to pry open Binglun's jaw to pour the medicine, but the harder she tried, the tighter her bite was, and a little was forcefully poured in, and it flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

Everyone lost their minds, except for Li Daozhong, other imperial physicians came one after another in the palace. Seeing such symptoms, they were all helpless. The mansion went up and down the whole night without sleep, and on the second day, Binglun's body didn't even shake Li Daozhong let out a long sigh and said, "Ma'am, I'm not good at medicine. I'm really ashamed of the general and my wife. When the general returns to the mansion, I will come here to plead guilty."

Mrs. Wang couldn't understand the meaning of his words, she thought that Doctor Li was very skilled in medicine, she was the best in the imperial hospital, even he said such disheartening words, it can be seen that Binglun's life is in danger.I also thought of how miserable my life was, losing my beloved son first, and then my brother and niece also died one after another. Now seeing my daughter also leave me, I feel heartbroken, and let out a mournful cry: "Bing'er, except you, Mother, what hope is there in this life! If you go before me, what is the meaning of my life, so mother will go with you now!"

Because of the trouble for a day and a night, the whole family got the news and came to see it.The inner and outer three floors of the courtyard were tightly packed, and the upper room was also crowded with people, except Mrs. Wang and her personal servants, Binglun's nurse and maid, Aunt Fu, Huo Song, Huo Ze's mother and son, and Huo Mu's wife. The other concubines were all there, seeing Mrs. Wang crying like hell, the rest of the people also cried bitterly.

Huo Ze wandered around in the flowers and didn't come home all day. Aunt Fu sent someone three times before calling him back. She just wanted him to come over to make a show. Both mother and son pretended to be sad, and they both secretly got what they wanted. Huo Song feels that Binglun cannot enter the palace, which is a great loss to the Huo family, and he deeply regrets it.

While crying, Aunt Fu stepped forward to persuade Mrs. Wang: "The number of children is predestined. Even old doctor Li and other imperial doctors can't cure it. It's irreparable. My sister has done her best to the young lady." I hope my sister will take good care of her body, otherwise, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome when the master comes back?” He said so, but he was very proud in his heart, thinking that after your son died, the master’s feelings for you have long been weak, and now the only daughter is not only You can't be the master and empress in a glorious manner. Seeing that you can't even protect your life, no matter how noble your birth is, will you still be able to occupy the position of the royal family?

Mrs. Wang ignored her and just watched over Binglun, crying.Qinzhu and Wuyou cried especially bitterly. The two of them accompanied Binglun to Zilu Nunnery yesterday, but were forced by Binglun, one covered her in the meditation room, and the other slipped out with her from the backyard to Xinghualin in the southwest of the city. , Binglun insisted on going into the forest alone, and stayed there for at least a stick of incense.They are Binglun's personal maids, and they all know what the apricot forest means to Binglun, and they also know what Miss Lin Wanxi's name means to the entire General's Mansion, so when they came back, they concealed this section. Madam is concerned about Binglun's safety and has no time to investigate carefully, but if something happens to Binglun, when the general comes back, he may be angry and ask questions, and then his own life will be in danger.So the two were not only sad for Binglun, but also worried about their own future, crying more than others.

Huo Song thought that Huo Mu was sent to Jizhou by the emperor, and he would not be able to come back for a while. He is the eldest son, so he should come out and make decisions at this time. Seeing these women crying, the boss was already impatient, so he stepped forward and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, Now that the matter has come to this, we have to hurry up and send someone to Jizhou to inform the master, so that he can go back earlier and maybe see the girl for the last time."

Before the words were finished, Binglun's wet nurse cried out, "Miss, why are you like this? Could it be that you have been bewitched? God, my heart has been so useless for the rest of my life!"

Mrs. Wang didn't know if she heard Huo Song's words, but she heard the nanny's words "bewitched" very clearly. Suddenly, she seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and she turned around and said, "Hurry up! Tell them to invite you!" If some eminent monks and dharma masters come, even the imperial physicians can't figure out the symptoms, then they must be possessed by evil spirits, so quickly ask them to come and practice the Dharma!"

Huo Ling was very concerned about this cousin. He stayed outside the door for the past two days and never returned home. Hearing Madam Wang's words, he hurriedly volunteered: "Ma'am, I'll invite you right away!"

Huo Song was very unhappy, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to let him go. While sending a message to Huo Mu in Jizhou, he secretly ordered the housekeeper Huo Youzhong to prepare the coffin and prepare for the funeral.

That night, the general's mansion was still brightly lit, monks and priests chanted scriptures and practiced rituals, and it was another whole night, everyone up and down did not close their eyes, there was still no response from Binglun, Mrs. Wang and others were completely in despair.

Hearing Huo Youzhong's report, Huo Song felt relieved when he knew that Binglun's funeral was in order. It was estimated that Huo Mu would not be able to return in time, so the whole family just waited for Binglun's news.

Mrs. Wang hadn't eaten a grain of rice for a few days, and her tears were gone. This night, she dismissed the others and stood guarding Binglun, crying dryly, while moistening her lips with a towel, who would have thought that Binglun slowly opened her eyes. .

She was a little bit suspicious that her eyes were wrong, but Binglun's lips moved slightly, and weakly uttered a word: "Water."

Mrs. Wang, as if she had found a treasure, cried and called to her maidservant: "Cailing, hurry up! Express water!"

Binglun stared straight at her, seemingly struggling, but finally uttered another word: "Hungry."

The eldest daughter of the general was stricken by an evil spirit, and the best imperial physician in the palace failed to cure her. She invited eminent monks and Taoist priests to chant sutras, but she recovered miraculously. The conversation materials, one by one, are all vivid and vivid, as if they were on the scene.

Binglun has been recuperating at home for more than a month, and her body has gradually improved. Most of the time, she lies on the bed. Occasionally, when she feels better, she will get out of bed and walk around the room, but she never leaves the room and rarely speaks. say.Except for her own mother and the servants around her, she didn't see anyone. When Aunt Fu, mother and son came to see her, they were always sent away with various excuses by those around her.

Mrs. Wang has recently moved to her residence, and she takes care of her personally. She is very considerate in providing food and medicine, and cooks various nourishing soups for her every day.After Binglun woke up, she was extraordinarily obedient. No matter soup, porridge, rice, meat, vegetable dishes, various fruits and vegetables, she would eat whatever was brought to her. Even if she had no appetite, she would try her best to swallow it in small bites. .Seeing her health improving day by day, Mrs. Wang was very happy and gratified.

"Mother, your daughter is unfilial, and you have been worried and suffering during this time."

After lunch, Binglun drank the last sip of chicken soup, and suddenly said such a sentence, Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, and she said: "Silly boy, what are you talking about, as long as you are fine, everything you do is worth it."

"I know." Binglun leaned on the pillow and said softly, "From now on, I will never let you worry about it again."

When she spoke, there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, maybe this was the first smile this year, but there was no emotion in her pair of eyes that were as dark as a deep pool, and she looked surprisingly calm.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth slightly. After Binglun woke up, she always felt that something had changed in her, not just becoming more well-behaved, nor just becoming quieter, but she couldn't tell exactly what changed. In an instant, her feeling was particularly strong. She was clearly in front of her eyes, and she was clearly speaking warm words. However, she suddenly felt that the relationship between their mother and daughter had become very strange and far away. . . . . . .Mrs. Wang looked at her, a little dazed, but Binglun seemed a little tired and closed her eyes.

Madam Wang regained her composure and said, "Master will be back in a few days. If I see you now, I must be very pleased." Thinking of this, there was a hint of worry on her brows: "I know you don't want to enter Palace, mother selfishly doesn't want you to live that kind of life that never sees the light of day. At that time, you had a hard time with your father because of..." Swallowing the words "your cousin's matter" abruptly, and then said : "Sick again and again, the day of entering the palace has been postponed again and again, this time I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

"It's okay, just enter the palace as soon as you enter the palace. It's just to be a concubine. Many people can't wait to come."

Mrs. Wang looked shocked, and said for a long time: "Bing'er, you... Is this your truth?"

Binglun said: "Mother, why are you so surprised? As a woman, I always avoid marrying. Marrying the emperor is the same as marrying other people. It's better to marry someone superior, isn't it?"

The tone was still soft, Mrs. Wang looked at her, she didn't know what to say, but Binglun asked again: "Mother, when will father come back?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Should be home in late ten days."

"En." Binglun opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Mother, I'm tired, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest."

"Miss, what are you talking about? You want us to take out everything related to Miss Biao and burn it?"

Wuyou and Qinzhu spoke in unison, looked at Binglun and at each other, unable to believe what they had just heard.Who doesn't know that in this room, the items related to Miss Biao are priceless treasures, especially after she passed away, whoever touches those things will simply poke the heart of the eldest lady with a knife, It would make her furious, and now she wants them to find it and burn it?

Binglun lay on the bed, motionless, repeating patiently: "Yes, everything, the handkerchief she embroidered for me, the clothes and shoes she made, as well as her own clothes, the poems she wrote, the paintings she drew Son, the books she brought over, her beloved guqin and bamboo flute...everything related to her in this yard."

Wuyou and Qinzhu were dumbfounded, they stood there as if they were frozen, motionless.

"Don't understand?"

"Listen... I understand."

Binglun's voice became cold: "Then hurry up!"

The two nodded again and again: "Go, servant girl will go now."

When all the things were found, a small mountain had been piled up outside. Binglun ordered: "Ask someone to carry the big copper pot for warming the fire to the middle, and you two will burn these. Remember, burn them slowly, so as not to accidentally burn them in the house." Go water."

Three or four people brought up the copper basin, and Wuyou and Qinzhu were guarding the two sides. As expected, the fire was very slow, and it was only halfway through when Huo Mu came.

Wuyou and Qinzhu got up quickly, bowed their knees and saluted: "This servant has seen the master."

Huo Mu glanced around: "What is this burning? It made the room smoky."

Wangyou saw that his expression was unkind, so he hurriedly said: "Miss ordered the servants to burn Miss Lin's family's belongings."

"Oh, is that so?" Huo Mu's tone softened: "Let someone carry it out and burn it, the eldest lady will be in good health, and I'm not afraid of the smoke getting to her."

"Yes."

Binglun had already heard their conversation inside, so he just didn't know it. When he saw Huo Mu coming in, he wanted to get up and called out: "Father."

Huo Mu stopped her with gestures: "You are in good health, just lean on me." He sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her carefully, and said, "When I was in Jizhou, I heard that you were seriously ill, and I was very anxious. Let me watch your body now." His complexion is much better than it was a few months ago, which is very gratifying."

Binglun said: "Yes, my daughter has recovered, thank you father for your concern."

Huo Mu recalled that more than half a year ago, she was looking for life and death for Lin Wanxi. She was sick for several months, and because she drove Lin Wanxi out of the mansion, she blamed herself and didn't talk to her for a long time. The sun came out from the west, and he actually called himself "Father", and he was willing to burn those useless things. In addition to joy, he was also a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you think of asking someone to burn your cousin Lin's belongings?" ?”

Binglun said nonchalantly: "Everyone is dead, why keep those?"

Huo Mu observed her expression secretly, and said again: "Yes, if you keep it, you can't help but look at things and think about others. It's a pity that such a good girl is still so young. Binglun, don't blame father, I sent her back then. Going out, I just punished her a little bit, and I planned to pick her up in two or three months. Although her father is a concubine, he is your mother's brother after all. How could I treat her so poorly? After all, I will let her go back to the mansion. Find her a noble and decent husband's family, so that she can rely on her for life."

"Father, how can I blame you? Although they are only cousins, after all, my daughter and her have grown up with her. She died, and she was inevitably sad, so she was a little wayward at that time, and failed to understand my father's painstaking efforts. It’s not.” Binglun’s expression was remorseful, her tone was extremely sincere, but her right hand was under the quilt, tightly holding the purse, her hand was sweating unknowingly, it was wet, she paused, and sighed softly: “Father Even though she was allowed to leave the General's Mansion, she did not treat her badly, she was still well-clothed and well-fed every day, served by servants and maidservants, alas, after all, her life was poor, she couldn't think about it, and she couldn't blame others."

Huo Mu finally felt relieved, and said: "Binglun, I knew that you are a sensible person, and I will always figure it out!"

Binglun said: "Father said that I am not the same as her, we will have completely different lives, I will enter the palace sooner or later, I only understand these words now."

Huo Mu was overjoyed: "Are you willing to enter the palace?"

"Whether I want to or not is not my consideration. As the Huo family, I am destined to contribute to the family." Binglun clenched his hands tighter and tighter, until the palms were pinched with deep marks by nails, and there was a dull pain. A smile: "For hundreds of years, the men of the Huo family have killed enemies on the battlefield and studied hard in the cold window, in order to become a general and become a prime minister, to ensure the honor and status of the family, so that the Huo family will continue to prosper, and the women will enter the palace as the queen. Becoming a concubine, or matching up with other prominent families is also for the same purpose, father, rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations, although I am not a man, but one day, I will impress you!"

"Good! Good! Ambitious!" Huo Mu said with a smile, "This is my Huo Mu's daughter!"
